NATSKA Round 2 , 1st of October 2022. Fulbeck kart track Grantham.

It was a great days racing yesterday at Fulbeck for NATSKA Round 2. We had some highs and lows but great pace and a great result in the end .

Harry took the chequered flag in 11th Place out of 28 in only his second race on novice plates, starting at the back of the grid in NATSKA Round 2 at Fulbeck Kart track. A great Sunny days racing with the morning being a damp slippery track on slicks making it interesting. Still lots still to learn for both of us, but pace wise he was flying. Harry had Fastest lap in heat 3 and 3rd fastest in Heat 4 which were good signs he was building in confidence. We are just starting to get his race craft and overtaking times which are key things we are working on. Racing against a’lot of older lads will mean he can learn from them as well.

Heat 1 starting 28th and finishing 14th

Heat 2 starting 21st andfinishing 7th. 3rd fastest lap

Heat 3 starting 25th and finishing 7th but got a 1 lap warning penalty for missing the chiquane due to late breaking . Great result in Heat 3, also getting fastest lap but ended up 20th due to the 1 lap so lesson learnt.

Heat 4 starting 23rd finishing 10th

5th Fastest lap time of the day

Finished 11th out of 28 class 15 drivers

Very happy with how the day went as there were a few red flags and restarts, glad the drivers involved were ok . Set up was great even with worn tyres so looking forward to Clay pigeon Dorchester in 2 weeks time.

Harry Takes the Chequered Flag in 9th Place in His First Class 15 Race – NATSKA Round 1, Junior Rotax

After telling him to take it easy and focus on getting used to the new engine… Harry had other ideas. He made the decision himself to race—sending my adrenaline levels through the roof as he competed in Class 15 Junior Rotax for the first time after moving up from Honda Class 12.

We had great pace all day, and he looked comfortable on track. There’s still plenty to learn in terms of setup and race craft, but he got off to a flying start.

Even Mum got the chance to do a session as a marshal! Since he’s running on novice plates, he’ll be starting from the back of the grid for his first four races to get used to the power of this new class.

NATSKA Round 1 – Class 15 Junior Rotax Results

• Heat 1: Started P16 – Finished P7 (Fastest lap!)
• Heat 2: Started P17 – Finished P11
• Heat 3: Started P17 – Finished P8
• Heat 4: Started P15 – Finished P3

Final Overall Position: 9th

A fantastic day’s racing on well-scrubbed tyres! Moving up to a new class is always a challenge, but Harry showed great pace and determination. Exciting times ahead—roll on Fulbeck in two weeks!

NATSKA NATIONALS Championship 2021
9th – 11th July | Class 11/10

What an incredible weekend of karting we had at Fulbeck Kart Club for the NATSKA NATIONALS Championship 2021 9th – 11th July | Class 11/10

We spent it with some fantastic people who all seemed much calmer than I was—at least on the surface. Whether they were as stressed and nervous as I felt, who knows! There was plenty of great racing across the classes, and I’m incredibly proud of Harry, who managed to finish 5th overall for the weekend and 6th in the NATSKA Championship. This was especially impressive given that COVID restrictions meant he missed a few rounds.

Heat 1

Started 4th | Finished 3rd

Heat 2

Started 17th | Finished 6th

Heat 3

Started 14th | Engine failure forced retirement with 3 laps remaining

Heat 4

Started 8th | Finished 5th

Heat 5

Started 2nd | Finished 4th

Heat 6

Started 10th | Finished 6th

Finishing 5th overall across two days of intense racing was a fantastic achievement. Shattered on the Monday, but it was well worth the effort! We can’t wait for the new season to start in September at Camberley with his new number. harryhurstracing.com

NATSKA ROUND 7 FULBECK 12th June 2021

NATSKA ROUND 7 FULBECK

And Harry takes the chequered flag At Natska Round 7 Fulbeck Kart track Grantham, with Barnwell Kart club.

A grid of 28 drivers in class 11. Great days racing starting on the grid for the first time after losing my novice plates, dad got set up wrong in heat 1 so just did not have straight line speed when needed. A crash with a novice at the first chicane saw us both come to a standstill, leaving me with a DNF, So not the best start to the day’s racing. Heat 2 was a lot better manging to make up 4 places to finish in 7th place on a strong honda grid.

Heat 2,

It was better started 11th on the grid, better set up and managed to finish 7th.

Heat 3,

was a strange one starting 7th on the grid. Most of the race was run under batternburg flags due to crashes, with penalties to other drivers harry managed to finish 5th.

Heat 4,

was much better starting 17th managed to secure 6th place leaving Harry with an overall 5th place for the day. Also got a chance to test out the rebuilt trailer for the first time .

Love racing at Natska Fulbeck track Grantham.
